Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 144 The Song Army Victory
God knows what kind of strength the Song army used in this battle.

The physical fitness of the soldiers was extremely poor. Facing the Jin Army of the tiger and wolf division, the soldiers of the three armies carried them to death. The battle with the Jin Army actually lasted for four hours at a stretch.

When it comes to the fifth hour, dusk has already closed between heaven and earth, and the pale moonlight shines on the earth.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, the torches held high by soldiers from both armies made the night sky look like day.

Song Jun had already exceeded the limit of his physical strength and could no longer hold on.

Although the Jin army also felt very tired, compared to the Song army, such a little fatigue was nothing to the brave and skilled Jin army.

The first Bianliang defense battle started at Sipai hour of the day and lasted until Haipai hour. The two armies did some finishing work before the battle, and each retreated in a hurry.

It took the Jin army a whole day to attack only the East Water Gate, the West Water Gate, and the Chenzhou Water Gate in the outer city of Bianliang.

Although the Song army suffered heavy casualties, the result of this war was already considered a great victory for the Song Dynasty.

When the good news spread to the court, Emperor Huizong and all the civil and military officials were overjoyed.

For days, the poisonous needle hanging in Emperor Huizong's heart finally disappeared.

In any case, we finally saw a little glimmer of hope.

You must know that before today, the civil and military officials in the court conducted a simulation and deduction of the serious damage that the Song army might actually suffer.

Everyone has already considered the worst outcome, but now the reality is completely unexpected.

The ancestors and ancestors have spirits in the sky, and bless the Song army, they did not suffer heavy casualties as they had imagined before.

On the contrary, he even got a little advantage from Jin Jun.

Emperor Huizong was also excited, and immediately issued an order to reward the three armies.

Cai Jing and Gao Qiu said in unison: "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty has such a master of martial arts, it is truly a blessing to all people, this battle will definitely be recorded in history for generations to come!"

Emperor Huizong nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "What Ai Qing said is absolutely true!"

Compared to the joy of others, Earl Ying did not feel a little bit of joy about the first Bianliang defense battle, he was even in danger.

To be honest, the first battle to defend Bianliang had reached this point. King Qin's troops who gathered in the capital from all over the world were already exhausted.

Soon after, the Jin army made a comeback and continued to attack the outer city of Bianliang frantically.

By then, it will be a huge suspense to see what the Song army will do in the second Bianliang defense battle.

The Song Dynasty court knew very well that the most important thing tonight was to quickly reorganize the three armies, let the soldiers recuperate, and face the arrival of the second war with a good spirit.

For many days, all the civil and military officials in the court were exhausted, and now they finally passed this first hurdle.

Emperor Huizong didn't waste any words. He immediately announced his withdrawal from the court and asked the civil and military officials of the court to go home and rest.

After retiring from the imperial court, Emperor Huizong walked up to Earl Ying, looked at Earl Ying and asked softly, "Guanghou, my first Bianliang defense battle in the Song Dynasty has been won now, but why are you so unhappy?"

Earl Ying sighed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, our Song Army indeed fought beautifully and majesticly in this battle, but the ambition of the Jin Kingdom has not guaranteed the second, third, or even the third game until now. What is the result of the fifth game of four games?"

When Emperor Huizong heard what the earl said, the smile on his face immediately froze, and was replaced by worry and tension. "You are right, Guanghou, and I understand the pros and cons of it. To be honest, I am also very uncertain."

"Right now, all I can do is to burn incense and pray for the soldiers of the three armies. I am troubled by the spirits of my ancestors and ancestors in the sky to protect my country and society in the Great Song Dynasty."

As Emperor Huizong spoke, he turned around and walked towards the palace.

Under the moonlight, Earl Ying looked at the slightly lonely figure of Emperor Huizong who was gradually moving away.

Suddenly, I felt that if Emperor Huizong in history was not surrounded by treacherous ministers like Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, the outcome of things might be different.

It is a blessing for the country and the country to have loyal ministers for the king.

When a ruler acquires treacherous ministers, it is a disaster for the country, the country, and the country.

Such a simple truth can be understood by any normal person.

But throughout the ages, many people who have been kings have gone on to become faint kings one after another.

Is it possible that the dignified king of a country is not as thoughtful and knowledgeable as ordinary civilians?
Although the difference between the faint king and the wise king is one word, the difference is thousands of miles.

If a king can be ruthless and live like a monk in a monk's temple, then all the people in the world will be wise kings throughout the ages.

After Earl Ying returned home, he and Jin Lian and the other women simply had some midnight snacks and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Before dawn the next day, Earl Ying woke up from his sleep.

Next to her, Li Ping'er woke up because Count Ying suddenly turned over, and asked with bleary eyes: "It's still early, why are you awake so early?"

Earl Ying sat on the edge of the bed, holding his chin with his hands, and said: "It's mainly because I have too many things on my mind these past two days, and I can't sleep well at all. I always have nightmares."

Li Ping'er sat up and said softly: "It doesn't matter. I think you can relax now."

"The men, women, and children in Bianliang City all know that the Song Army won the first battle. If this is the case, even if the two armies fight again, I believe the outcome of the war will not be as tragic as before."

Earl Ying had a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said, "Things on the battlefield are always very difficult to explain."

"Although the Song army fought beautifully and prestige in the first Bianliang defense battle, what's next?"

"Have you ever thought, if the Jin army had used all its strength at the beginning of the Second World War, how many rounds would my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have been able to withstand?"

Li Ping'er was originally very at ease, but when she heard what Earl Ying said, she immediately became a little panicked.

He quickly asked: "Officer, are you implying that the Jin Army did not use all its strength in this battle?"

Earl Ying nodded and thought: "That's true. I heard the soldiers reporting the latest battle situation in the court say that although the Jin army seemed to be attacking frantically in waves, even the Iron Buddha Temple pulled out two hundred soldiers. Come and fight.”

"But in fact, looking at the whole battle, it seems that the main force of the Jin Army and many of the soldiers who were mainly involved in the war did not take part. Many of the soldiers who attacked the outer city were not Jurchens, but were actually Bohai people and others. It was originally composed of Han people in the Liao Kingdom."

As soon as Earl Ying finished speaking, Li Ping'er's beauty suddenly turned pale. She quickly grabbed his arm and said, "In that case, if there is another war, how sure is the Song Dynasty's army?"
